3 R’s Of Fashion That Will Change The Way You Shop

Can fashion and sustainability ever co-exist harmoniously? That seems to be the question of the moment. This may come as a surprise to the many oblivious consumers but fashion is the second most polluting industry, right after mining and oil. Contrary to popular notions, this can, in fact, be achieved on multiple levels right from consumer behaviour to retailer ethics, and production policies. On your part, it’s time to redefine the way you express yourself via fashion and this involves consciously practicing the three R’s with your wardrobe choices.

Our appetite for fashion needs to reprogram itself from just a pass time hobby to an actual<br />

functional necessity. Do you really need another crop top? Instead of buying 10 low-quality tops at<br />

dirt cheap prices, how about investing in 1 good quality top that will last several months. <strong>The</strong><br />

takeaway: Invest in quality over quantity!<br />

Reuse<br />

So, what to do when you are bored with the clothes in your wardrobe? Instead of indulging in yet<br />

another shopping spree, why not get creative? Pull out your essentials and try mixing and matching<br />

combinations you haven't tried before. <strong>You</strong> could also have a clothes swapping arrangement with<br />

your friends, cousins, or siblings, or maybe even pick stuff from your mom's closet. Also, if you<br />

must shop, head to the local thrift store, scour through second-hand buys, or load up on all things<br />

vintage to reuse instead of abuse with your fashion choices.<br />
